The Longest Road.......Reflections from my time in the mountains



Through my time in the mountains with my Subanon friends I have better come to understand their plight and view of the world as they see it as a whole.
I have not accepted any special treatment I do not belong to any NGO (non government organization) I am not a missionary nor do I tender any kind of payment for this.
I am one and I have set out to empower those that wish to use the knowledge I will give them to their benefit .
I came to Guingona first in September and was due to return before that but due to circumstances beyond my control that was not meant to be.
I returned 17 days ago and in that time I have conducted Multiple trainings on basic composting, organic concoctions, and various other organic teaching AS WELL AS teaching english and math to the school children when time permitted.
Also I have seen through that the feeding areas for the children are planted while at the same time branching off to my next assignment for hybrid in neighboring barangay of trigos.
I immerse and live with my friends I work when they work I sleep on the porch of a hut it is the simplest of living and I am beyond grateful for the experience thus far.
I will continue to advocate for the people to teach them and to tell their stories in a non biased way some of those stories are not happy nor are they pretty but it is the best way to address the issues that my friends are facing on a daily basis that no one anywhere should have to.
This is not a problem that will just go away and also I believe that more people should be grateful for what they have in life because things can always be worse.
I have seen things that most have only seen on tv both good and bad and have went places very few if any other Americans have ever went .
Take what you have in this life and make the most out of it detach from your cell phones and video game systems and live your life see the world around you and take in the experiences money and gadgets will not follow you when you leave this world all you will have is the impact you have left and the lives you have touched..........................

The longest road (Part 2)

My five young farmers came and did I simply put do not have the words these young adults are the future. These are the people that will be the movers and enforcers of change. Once the community sees it's own adopting sustainable practices and seeing it successfully work more will follow. I could not be more proud of them . After the planting ended I told my habal habal driver that I would be walking back to town with my young friends in anticipation of doing this I starved myself . I feel for my advocacy to have real depth and credibility I feel I must put myself in the shoes of those I talk for. I had been on this mountain many times but this time I felt as though I was in a totally different world. I was lightheaded my legs felt like jelly now add walking about a mile uphill on a very very steep incline and a little over two miles after that. This only strengthens my resolve to stop this I can assure anyone reading this I WILL NOT STOP until those children have the sus

Hybrid Agricultural Empowerment October 2, 2016  ·  The longest road (part 6) The future of Hybrid in the Philippines. I have had a lot of time to think of what I want to do and where I want to take this and how I want to do this . Hybrid will continue in the Philippines it will be in one of two ways . Regardless as a functioning member of the Higaonon tribe I will not abandon my family there. But also I feel that with certain opportunites abound I can take hybrid to a whole other level via working on another side of the planet as of now I am very conflicted. I have an offer to work in Central America for 90 days to help them build and enrich communities there as an offshoot of what I have started here. Now after those 90 days I would return here and continue where I left off in the Philippines should I decide to take that offer. There are a lot of facors in making this decision I must consider as I have contacts and people that need me here. Or re
